“以农立国”还是“以工立国”？——民国时期立国之争的再思考

20世纪二三十年代,中国出现了一次关于“何以立国”的争论,争论的核心是“以工立国”还是“以农立国”。此次争论包括了耳熟能详的一些经济学家、哲学家、政治家等社会名流,以章士钊为代表的“守旧派”、梁漱溟、晏阳初等乡村建设运动者为代表的“改良派”和以董时进为代表的“创新派”坚持“以农立国”,他们的出发点是中国对于农国地位以及农国精神的维护;吴景超、张培刚、孙倬章则是“以工立国”派的重要拥趸,他们主要着眼于现实,提出只有建立强大的工业基础才能挽救民族于危亡之中。此外“非名流”乃至“草根”阶级也参与到了论战中,与他们相比,“名流”论战者有着更为宏观、全局性和深层次的把握。传统认为“工农之争”的论战以“以工立国”派的胜利而告终,然而从不同的视角看,“以农立国”的观点不无道理,甚至对于现阶段经济的发展仍有指导意义。     

Children in immediate danger: Emergency removals in Finnish and Irish child protection

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of front‐line practices regarding emergency removals in Finnish and Irish child protection. It examines how the responses to children's immediate danger are framed by legislation and how front‐line practitioners assess the child's situation and make emergency placement decisions. The data consist of interviews with 16 Irish and 33 Finnish social workers. These child welfare protection systems respond differently to a task that appears to be similar. The Irish team‐based practice rests on the social workers' shared assessment of the child's needs, and the formal decision is made by the courts (or police officers at night‐time); and the Finnish practice involves only one single social worker who makes both the assessment and the removal decision. The Irish system is tightly time regulated, whereas the Finnish system provides a more flexible time frame. Both approaches put a lot of stress on social workers' practice, which also includes creative workarounds (e.g., “planned emergency removals” in Finland). Future research will need to explore these features from the point of view of a child's right to protection.     

Women's participation in self‐help groups as a pathway to women's empowerment: A case of Nepal

Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) and the government of Nepal have made some effort to reduce poverty in Nepal by creating women's affiliation groups, some of which are micro‐credit organizations. Using capabilities as defined by Amartya Sen (Development as freedom, Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 2000), which includes employment opportunities, women's ownership in productive resources such as land and/or homes, educational opportunities, and women's participation in decision‐making in the family, this study evaluated the extent to which women's ethnic group or caste affiliation affected a woman's likelihood of being empowered by participation in these groups. We analyzed a sample of 8,973 women which was taken from the 2011 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey. Previous research has demonstrated that participation in gender‐based groups is correlated with higher economic status. This study adds to the literature on women's affiliation groups by investigating the impact of structural factors, such as caste and ethnicity, on women's self‐help group participation (women's groups and credit groups).     

“重陆轻海”与“通洋裕国”之海洋观刍议

明清两朝正处于世界性海洋历史发展的"千古变局"时代,但统治者沿袭传统模式,在立国思想上"重农抑商"、"重陆轻海",在国防战略上以"禁海"代替海防,禁海迁界、"守土防御",反映其海洋观念的淡薄;而东南沿海地方官员,尤其郑成功"通洋裕国"思想的提出和实践,显露出"以商立国",向海洋空间发展的意涵;传统时代"重陆轻海"与"通洋裕国"所反映的海洋观念,对国家民族发展的影响在某种程度上可以忽略不计,但大航海时代,海洋作为人类的第二生存空间影响到世界历史走向和发展格局时,"重陆轻海"观念所带来的深层影响会因此而改变国家和民族的命运。     

加拿大原住民自治政府:联邦主义下制度构建与政治文化相背离的困境

本文指出 ,加拿大原住民自治政府虽然具有道德正义性而且其合法性与加拿大联邦主义的原则不冲突 ,但其作为一个在联邦制度内的制度构建与加拿大的主导政治文化和政治权力结构却有一种背离矛盾关系。这种主导共同体与亚集体认同矛盾的现象在多民族国家的政治制度构建中是带有普遍性的问题 ,如何在宪政建设中解决这个问题对加拿大联邦制的前景至关重要 ,而且对中国这样的多民族国家将来的宪政建设也有很大的启示作用     

晚唐五代敦煌寺院与中原田庄比较研究

晚唐五代时期敦煌处于吐蕃和归义军的统治, 此时的寺院模式与中原历代形成的田庄极为相似。通过二者在阶级构成、经济生产、社会关系等方面的比较, 可得出结论: 此时之敦煌寺院为不完全之田庄。     

中国朝鲜族农村教育改革和发展研究

均衡发展是新时期义务教育发展的新方向。目前,朝鲜族教育面临着前所未有的严峻挑战,生源锐减、教育经费不足、单亲和留守学生增多、流失生现象严重、大量朝鲜族学生上汉族学校等。朝鲜族基础教育改革和发展的重点在农村,难点也在农村。     

中国西部民族地区农村城镇化发展模式研究——以藏族地区九寨沟县为例

中国西部民族地区九寨沟县候鸟型的旅游推进型城镇化模式,与城镇化推进的经典理论,工业化是城镇化的根本动力,有截然不同的表现形式。城镇人口的增长,呈现明显的季节性,随旅游旺季淡季的变化呈现一种规律性的潮汐式的变化方式。前往旅游的流动人口数量是城镇常住人口的数倍甚至10倍以上。这种城镇化推进过程,所推进发展的,作为增长极的城镇,所产生的聚集扩散效应作用却是基本一致的。     

现代国家建构进程中的土地制度变动

从土地关系的角度来看,现代国家建构的进程中地权的内涵和结构都发生了深刻的变动。从西欧来看,在古代土地的政治权和经济权实际上是统一的,土地权力同时也是土地权利;在现代国家建构的过程中,领土主权成为国际秩序的基础,土地权力成为公法的客体,土地权利成为国家法律保护下的完整产权。当这一外生的逻辑框架套用到中国的时候,领土主权得以确立,但土地权力并没有完全撤出地权体系当中,而是直接地干预了土地权利的设立和分配,这成为理解近现代中国土地政治问题的一个基本线索。     

晚清的内忧外患与日本近代化

晚清遭受西方殖民主义的屡次侵略而渐次沉沦,内部又爆发大规模的农民起义,可谓内忧外患。这向尚处锁国状态的近邻日本频频发出强烈警报,使其获得改弦更张、积极面对列强来袭的启示,并断然走上开国、倒幕、维新的近代化之路。
